Laak Ness Monster
We caught up with the action on the 
flop where Phil Laak potted to 10,500 from the small blind. Joseph Silverman then re-potted to 43,500 which got the hijack out of the way but Laak came back with another re-pot. Silverman went all in and Laak called to put his tournament life at risk as the players flipped their hands.
Laak: 
Silverman: 
We didn’t catch Silverman’s suits but Laak had coolered him with set over set. Silverman would now need the last two in the deck or a couple of cards to give him a low in order to not get scooped. The 
on the turn was of no help and neither was the 
on the river as Laak won the monster pot and Silverman was crippled down to 17,000 while Laak catapulted into the chip lead. Shortly afterwards, Silverman was eliminated.
